South Australian market update 2024 September Quarter - Real Estate Institute of South Australia (REISA) Real Estate Institute of South Australia (REISA) CEO, Andrea Heading said that while the high interest rates and the traditionally slower third quarter had impacted upon the volume of sales, optimism and consumer confidence in the real estate market remained robust. The South Australian property market continues to demonstrate its strength and resilience by once again posting record median prices of $723,000 and $800,000 across South Australia and metropolitan Adelaide respectively. “Once again, we have smashed the record median price across South Australia. This clearly shows that purchasers are willing to enter the real estate market and purchase premium properties that are realistically and transparently priced. While there was an expected drop in the volume of sales from the previous quarter, they remained well above those recorded for the same period last year," Andrea Heading added Read more on The Real Estate Conversation - https://lnkd.in/gDexirRM Wendy Granozio Emma Slape Margaret Nobes John Warnock Laura Curtis Peter Thompson Cain Cooke Suzannah Toop Cathie Brown James Black David Colovic Marc Taintey #REISA #realestate #realestatenews #realestateinstitute #realestateagent #realestateaustralia #realestateagency #realestatebusiness

Housing Affordability Plummets to its lowest point in almost Three decades - Real Estate Institute of Australia Over the June quarter 2024, housing affordability in Australia declined to the lowest point since REIA monitoring began in 1996. REIA President, Leanne Pilkington said the analysis from REIA’s latest Housing Affordability Report shows the average loan repayment now amounts to 48.1% of the median family income, 1.3 percentage points more than last quarter. “The report highlights the impact interest rate increases and rising inflation have had on Australians in regards to both rent and home ownership.” Ms Pilkington said that while Victoria saw a marginal improvement, and small improvements were also seen in the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory, housing affordability declined in all other states.

BUILD TO RENT | How the BTR oversupply is impacting leasing strategies. As the Build-to-Rent (BTR) sector continues to expand, the Victorian market is beginning to feel the effects of an oversupply in rental properties. While the growth of this asset class has been heralded as a long-term solution to housing shortages, the surge in new developments is now presenting challenges for landlords and developers, particularly in the realm of leasing strategies. With an increasing number of rental units available, competition for tenants is intensifying, forcing BTR operators to rethink how they attract and retain residents. From pricing tactics to enhanced resident experiences and digital marketing initiatives, the way properties are marketed and leased is evolving rapidly in response to this shifting landscape. At Infolio we employ a considered marketing strategy that avoids a race to the bottom and the slashing of rents.
